Default Vacuum Lines, etc on my 88 GSXR750

I'm sorry for bugging everyone again, but this is really getting to me. I've got things close, but not right. Hopefully, someone here can help.

I need to know what hoses go where on my carbs. I followed Nut's advice earlier, and that helped some. I just hate to pay someone $$$ when I know I can get it done myself - at least, that's what I'm thinkin'

Can anyone tell me what hoses should be hooked up to where on my carbs? I know there are 2 fuel lines that go to each bank of carbs from the gastank. I also have 1 vacuum line from the tank to the #2 carb (even though my Clymer's shows (vaguely) that is should be on #3.) I also know there should be a hose from the top of the valve cover to the bottom of the airbox. What else do I need?

I hate to repeat myself in posts, but the problem from my earlier post is still existing, though close to being right. I'm sure this has to be either a vacuum or an ignition problem. I don't wanna spen $100+ on coils if I don't have to, but will if I must. (Someone mentioned that it could be bad spark down low that's making the engine bog/stall at low RPM's.)

Thanks again in advance to all the help you can give me.

PS Anyone that could provide me with a good pic of your 88/89 Gixxer engine, I would really, really appreciate that too!
